# Morse Chat vs MeshCore One

The clearest difference is update cadence: MeshCore One at every 4 days against Morse Chat's every 2 months. MeshCore One also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (95% vs 74%). Morse Chat's advantage is ratings volume (486 vs 27) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Morse Chat sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MeshCore One sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MeshCore One holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Morse Chat has 486 ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Morse Chat's written reviews are positive against 95% of MeshCore One's.

Morse Chat ships an update every 2 months, MeshCore One every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
